Padma Shri Awardee Former Swimmer's Medals Stolen From Bengal Home
Kolkata: Padma Shri awardee former swimmer Bula Chowdhury said thieves have stolen medals and mementos from her ancestral home in West Bengal's Hooghly district. Ms Chowdhury said she lost everything she had earned in her entire life. "Thieves have taken away everything I earned in my entire life through my hard work and dedication. All medals, including the six gold medals I won at the SAAF Games and the Padma Shri brooch, have been stolen," Ms Chowdhury told PTI on Friday. The former swimmer alleged that the thieves have also stolen all the mementos but left the Arjuna Award and the Tenzing Norgay medals. "Probably they did not recognise the Arjuna Award and the Tenzing Norgay medals, as they were smaller in size," she said. Ms Chowdhury alleged that it was the third theft at her Hindmotor residence, which remained under lock and key, and she visited the property periodically. Currently living in Kolkata's Kasba area with her family, Ms Chowdhury's ancestral home is looked after by her brother, Milon Chowdhury, who lives some distance away and occasionally visits to check on it. "On Independence Day, which was a holiday, Milon went to the house to clean it on his sister's instructions. On entering, he was shocked to find the rear gate broken and the rooms ransacked," police said. Ms Chowdhury, who rushed from Kolkata to Uttarpara upon receiving the news, recalled that thefts had occurred before and alleged that although police complaints were lodged, no proper investigation had been done. "Why are they taking medals? They won't get any money for them. They are treasures of my life, the fruits of my career. My house is targeted every time because it stays empty," she said. Police have launched an investigation into the incident, a senior police officer said.

SHIVPURI: At least four persons were killed and 11 others injured after a mini bus they were travelling in collided with a small truck on National Highway 46 in Madhya Pradesh's Shivpuri district on Saturday, police said. The accident occurred around 5 am, around 30 km from the district headquarters, when the mini bus, carrying a Gujarat-based music troupe, was returning from a programme at the Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi, Survaya police station SHO Arvind Chari said. According to the police, the bus driver lost control, entered the wrong lane, and collided with the truck. The deceased included Hardik Dave (37), a singer in the troupe, Raja Thakur (28), Ankit Thakur (17), and Rajendra Solanki (47), all members of the band. The injured have been admitted to hospitals in the area. A preliminary probe suggests that the driver of the mini bus, which had 17 people onboard, might have dozed off at the wheel.
